OK so I'm looking at this pumpkin head unit. 32gb, 2gb ram, and of course the rk3188.
My question is will the audio still play when you turn on the rear camera by putting the car in reverse. I plan to add a switch and a diode to allow me to turn on the rear camera anytime I want even while driving. I'll be towing a 30 foot camper and putting a camera on the back of it and it would be nice to see it for safer Lane changes. My idea should work , but I hope the audio will still play when I enable the camera. I drew a little diagram to show how I will be wiring it. Thanks everyone!

It's in settings, No sound, full sound or percentage of 100%.
You have to swap the diode around or your rear selection will never activate.
Since it's +12 that will activate the rear cam. The switch will activate it, but not
rear selection.

Awesome. I was worried I wouldn't have the radio with camera on. And thank you yes I realized last night. Did that drawing in haste lol. The anode should be on the harness side. I stuck it in backwards on the diagram. This should do the trick and I'm excited to get an upgrade !!
Now I just have To decide if the 32gb / 2gb / rk3188 is worth an extra $100USD
Seems like most people here are OK with the performance of 1gb.

If you have the money, go for it. Although I've to admit there's not very much difference.
I've seen the difference between 3066 and 3188 in speed that's for sure.
Well, I went with the Eanon Ga2114. Looks like a nice unit and i wont have to cut the bezel to fit. It's the 16gb, 1gb, rk3188 unit. From all the videos online of this model, it seems pretty popular and looks like its built decently. Got it for $150 so I can't complain. Also paid another $10 for a 2year square trade warranty.
Now, to download Malaysk's ROM and get everything lined up for its arrival
Any tips / tricks I should know about? I can't wait for it to get here Spent another 150 in goodies for it. New amp / sub wiring, new rca cables to connect the rear VES in my jeep, a powered USB hub, dash install kit, canbus adapter with steering controls.... Waiting is driving me crazy lol
you can connect a dash camera to the back usb and put it in the back.

because in this way he dont need to mess with wiring
By the way, I bought this system a week ago.
The processor is a 3188T - weaker - 1.2 GHz instead of 1.6
And the system gets stuck all the time booting.
I do not know what version of the system and how to get into RECOVERY and the manufacturer does not answer my questions.
My eanon ga2114 is up and running using boroondocks ROM. Pain running all the wires but totally worth it. If you have a canbus and Bluetooth calls don't work, its probably an issue like I had. Apparently the canbus uses the rear channel for all 4 speakers because I have a factory installed amp. Bluetooth audio ( music ) plays on all 4 channels, but calls only play on the front. I had to cross front and back when i spliced the harness for a second time. It all works good now.
Side note, there is no subwoofer line control in the radio and its underpowered. I installed a gain knob and just ordered an inline preamp driver which should boost it a bit. Just giving a heads up.
Also, the radio isn't as crisp as apps like YouTube / iheart radio. Almost like the range isn't quite as high. It still sounds decent and the built in equalizer helps tune it up.

Oh, I also added a switch so I can turn on the rear camera anytime I want while driving. It will definitely come in handy as I'll have another camera connected to my monstrous camper. Merging should be a ton easier. It still automatically switches when I put it in reverse too you have to love diodes

Now it became interesting again. Why two diodes? We are talking logical levels and currents. One 1N4001 is enough, 99 cent at Radio Shack.
I didn't have a 12v 1watt diode. In parallel 2x .5 watt are 1 watt. No reason other than an overworked diode heats up and fails. I figured 1 amp should be the Max draw for a reverse wire.
I already had some 12v 1/2 watt zener glass diodes laying around

We are probably talking about 0,5-1,0 mA. I picked 1N4001 because it's available for nothing.
so what happens when you hit the switch?
Say you are driving down the street, using an app on the head unit like Pandora or Google Play Music, and you hit that switch. Your screen changes to the camera, but does your music and stuff stay on?

Swyped from mah 3vo!
The best setup is a 4-channel Class AB amp (full-range) for normal speakers and a Class D amp for Sub(s). But with a stock receiver, it's a compromise any way you go. Any amplifier can only work with the quality of the input signal that it gets, and most stock receivers aren't up to the task of providing a high quality input.

Hello to everyone! Thx,
If anyone knows the pinout for Con3 (rear camera) that would be a great help as I don't have the equipment to test and will cost me money to have the board scoped for USB data+/- and a good 5v+/- by a local shop. If anyone has the tools or all ready knows the pin out for Con3 that would speed things up a lot.
Thx.
Update pretty sure con3 is out of the question (mostly grounds and a couple low power lines)if anyone has any ideas please feel free to share. Could tap into microUSB, but not what I was going for.
are you trying to get power from that is that for data, could possibly using the battery harness for power work at all?
Yes could use the power coming from he battery but it is a bit to high voltage so would have to run an in line resistor to bring it down to 5v. I'm hoping to find the simplest way so most people could do it them self's but also other ways swell.

...anyway, back on topic, the SD card mod is very intriguing. I love my N7 tablet, but the memory limitations are a constant roadblock.I don't care about the lack of a rear camera, I don't use an HDMI out too much, but 16gb (or God help you, 8gb) is just not enough.
I'll be following this project closely. Thanks.
Interesting, I've been planning on doing something similar. Instead I'm going to wire in a thumb drive. HP makes one that is so small it's about the size of a SD card. I think the read and write speeds are faster than a sd and it's also cheap for 32gb

Many of the traces from J4 - the connector for the front camera (which is the same connector and camera used in the ASUS Transformer and many other devices) - route through CON3 before veering off to the flash (for storage) or the networking chips (direction connection for Skype, maybe?). Some of the data signals have unconnected resistors at CON3, presumably because there is currently no back camera. Some of the traces run in length-matched parallel (for differential signaling and/or timing purposes); some of these have terminating resistors and decoupling caps at CON3.
CON3 is almost identical to J4, just with the pins in one row rather than two so a flat ribbon cable can be used instead of the plug/socket the front camera uses. CON3 has 4 additional pins. I haven't scoped it all out yet - I haven't been wanting to tear my N7 *quite* that far down yet - but I just bought a whole unit with a cracked screen that I intend to do unholy things to as I experiment with cool mods.

If you go to staples you can pick up a module just like you're describing (only 16GB) for $12. It's a staples brand, but once you open it up, it's got Sandisk written all over it (literally - laser-etched on the chip).
If there were a 64GB version like that and it was possible to have it work along with charging...that would be perfect.
Here's a photo of the one I'm hacking up. Right now it's just going to be wired externally. If it's discovered that it can be used at the same time as charging I'll be putting one internally.

I wish I had that talent. LOL would love to add a 64gb internal chip to this thing. Alternatively, if you could design a case with chip in it and allow for pass through charging, that would work too.

I Found this little USB HUB and it fits perfect.
This is it before it got striped
Still just in mock up and not connected yet, but it does still close up fine. So I'm pretty sure a hub is a go(for me anyway) and still have room for some flash storage that will go where the rear camera should have gone or just beside the hub
I've been following your work here and elsewhere. Questions...
1. This is the first reference I recall to using a hub. I assume to get around the simultaneous problem? Good idea. Is the hub you chose recognized /working natively? And with an SD reader' with a card loaded?
2. Unrelated... I noticed a couple screws missing, along the left side (top in your pic). And the foam between screws 2 (missing) and 3 (still there) is gone. Did you do this, or was it shipped like that? Is this a recent C8 model?
Nice work BTW, I'm following this closely....

Not sure if it's smaller or not, but they're both close enough that they could both fit where iAppleDev has his hub at in his photo. If we can figure out a way to get the external flash setup installed AND functional while the nexus charges, I think i'd go for a 32GB or 64GB and put it where iAppleDev has the hub.
I decided a while ago to use my Nexus 7 as my head unit in my 2006 Legacy 3.0R. This is the result.
Audio is done via a Kenwood FM modulator, and bluetooth streaming to the pre-existing Parrot system as a backup.
In the near future I'm going to mount a 3G-wifi hotspot and Seagate Satellite wifi hard drive in the glove box for internet and media streaming.

I really wanted to use the nexus 7 with my car install. But limited storage, and no usb otg/charge at same time. If that was possible it would be in my dash now.
Im going to use a galaxy tab 2 since it can take a 64gb sd. Really wish there was a solution.
But nice, clean install. Im adding mine to my Dodge Magnum.

Segate Goflex Satellite or the Kingston Wi-Drive will solve my storage issues. For now 16GB is enough for just music.

The tablet is plugged into the AUX port for the sound, but the tablet is powered by a mini USB charger 2.1amp in my extra cigarette plug. Im using my cell as a hot spot so that i can stream pandora, netflix, google maps..etc through the tablet. also to contol the volume of my radio thats tucked in the back i used an IR repeater for my remote which i can also change from AUX to USB.

Im using my cell as a hot spot so that i can stream pandora, netflix, google maps..etc through the tablet. also to contol the volume of my radio thats tucked in the back i used an IR repeater for my remote which i can also change from AUX to USB. Here is what it looks like in the car..

Please get that steering wheel troubles fixed. If not you end up driving on the wrong side of the road..

It's not really an issue. The tablet turns on and stays on when it connects to power (when the car turns on), then it turns off after a 30 sec timeout once I turn the car off.
As for volume, I usually just leave it on max but there are plenty of widgets on Google Play that can be used to control the volume.
Unfortunately I do need to clip the panel out to turn it off and on, but I don't anticipate needing to to that too often.

No problem of the heat, i actually used a mini IR thermometer to check the heat coming from the radio.

I love the car, i had to place my name on a waiting list that was for 3 months but lucky me when i called a dealership 40mins away and left my name with them he called me back two days later saying one was coming in and it was the color and tranny i wanted so i lucked out. but a few guys on my forum are already selling their cars cus some are having back issues being too tall or some other excuse
Do you have more pic of your instal ? Inside ?
I want to do this in my Toyota Prius Gen III so badly! I just have NO IDEA where to start. I'm excellent with computers, tablets, and phones, but I know nothing about car audio/fabrication etc.
Therefore, I ordered a Monoprice bluetooth receiver and a Nexus 7 Vent mount off eBay for $15. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221123164714?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 This will work in the mean time but I REALLY WANT TO FAB a custom front panel and get rid of that weird looking slim slot thingy. (i think they call it a cd drive or something)

Hi Guys,
Galaxy Note 2 seriously needs a bluetooth headset if you are talking a lot on phones. I have tried many bluetooth sets but none was perfect, either not good for music or clumsy n difficult to handle.
Then I came across this LG Tone HBS-700 and trust me its awesome.
1. Awesome sound quality (calling + music)
2. Form factor - very easy to carry.
3. Good battery.
4. Acceptable price.
Here is Amazon link:

I second this recomendation. Battery life is great I usually charge it once a week. I often forget that it's even there, so light and comfortable.

My co worker bought a set of these on black friday and let me try them. The sould quality is good and they are comftorable i have to say i still prefer my jaybird freedoms. The jaybirds are lighter and dont have the rounded stiff cable. Just 1 wire from bud to bud that rest on your shoulder. I run and play basketball with the freedoms and there perfect. Plus there lifetime sweat warranty. Idk how much the lg headphones are but if there over $70 i say just pay the extra $30 for the jaybirds

I have to disagree. I know too many people who have destroyed theses because they get sweat in them. One guy has had his replaced 3 times already (he runs Ultras).
I have the HBS-700s and I have run in the pouring rain .. and lets not even talk about running in the summer here in Louisiana ... and these have lasted me for over a year with NO issues.
I've had the lg 700 for over a year...
Ups n downs... More ups though. Very comfortable, excellent battery life, light weight, good volume levels...
The down side is it's not the best call quality and that varies from time to time. Sometimes call quality is good and other times people can't even understand me. It's even harder talking to someone with another 700! Most of the time it's ok for call use. For music it's good not great. Bass sucks, and bass button doesn't help out that much. Over all i would highly recommend them. I did my research when buying and I'm very happy with them. If they broke I'd buy another set. That should tell you for the money it's a smart buy

jaybird has a lifetime warranty on sweat.
They are a bit hard to find now because they stopped making them but I have yet to find someting as good as my Plantronic Pulsars 590s. Bought them 6 years ago. Use them every single day I only charge them once a week or less and I've only had to replace the earmuff pads once. They are awesome, can't stress just how great this product is!

Does not work with on-screen keyboard
I have this headset, when I push the mic button on the samsung (or any third party on-screen keyboard) it will not let me use voice recognition. Anybody else have this problem. Other than this minor problem, this is the best bluetooth headset I have ever owned.

Guys,
I can see many suggestions and opinions but trust me LG beats them simple because of its EASE TO USE & CARRY thing.
You dont have to put it in pocket or some bag, simple wear around your neck.
No hanging ear pieces.
from the Giant Killer Samsung Note 2
Does the LG kit (either the 700 or 730) have caller ID announcement, or just a vibrate function?
Also the 730 has gotten some bad reviews on Amazon lately for range problems. It looks like they pulled it for awhile and now it's back; maybe a bad batch?

As much as I delighted by new innovation, but I had to say sorry and disagree with you about LG HBS-700. Your claimed about no hanging earpiece not quite truth too. If you read various feedbacks around the various website, I'm pretty sure you'll be getting something else.
I've noted this set before, prior to my moved from SE MW600 to a new stereo bluetooth headset.
I had shortlisted many new headsets like, Sony MW-1 Smart Wireless Headset pro, Senheisser MW100, Moto S10HD, Jaybird Freedom , including LG HBS700. But after tested them, I almost got a hook by Sony MW1 but in the I gave up all of them.
It was not until I've found Samsung HS3000. It totally change my mindset for stay put with SE MW600, which is now ended in my drawer for good after the many glorious days serving me.

may be...i know the first set of 730s i got did not have near the range of the 700.
lg has an app in the market that will announce callers and txt.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
The 730 range is weird. When I am outdoor, the music will skip if the Note 2 is in my pant pocket(shirt pocket or jacket pocket is fine). So when I am mowing the lawn, Pandora will skip. However, when I am indoor and moving around and jumping to get it to skip, it will not. Can't figure that one out.
Other than that, it is fantastic. On off announcement, connected announcement, control is well thought out and you get use to it very quick. I have hanging around my neck when in my car and can skip track with ease.
The phone audio is also very good. Callers said I am as clear as a whistle. Also the battery last very long and the micro usb makes it easy to charge since I have those laying around everywhere.
Music audio is very good, when it doesn't skip that is. The range is at least 20 ft indoor and it won't skip unless the phone is in my pant pocket.
i have the new 730s and i love them. comfortable to wear, music sounds amazing and battery life is great. highly recommend these to anyone.
Well I've been tinkering with my 5th gen IPod. Had it turned to an iMod which bypasses much of the logic board and solders a wire directly from the DAC to the line out dock. From there I run the signal into a Leckerton UHA 6S.MKII amp. My LOD is a solid Mundorf silver. Neither the amp or ipod have DC blocking capacitors so it gives it a very neutral sound.
For my IEMs I'm using Westone W40 IEMs. Quad armature IEMs.
I was using a 128gb SD card as the hard drive, but decided to upgrade a bit. So I put in a 1TB msata drive, Samsung EVO.
Now to start adding tons more FLAC files.

Thanks. Yea sound quality is amazing. Wolfson DAC, by passed logic board. It's a very pure signal. I'm definitely addicted to it. I bought the iPod new in 2007 and have used it probably an average of 3-4 days a week since. Been on 3 deployments with me.

Nice man! Thanks! That's pretty awesome. Yea I had a lot of guidance and most of the testing was done by members over at Head-Fi. I had the iMod portion done by Red Wine Audio. I don't have the workspace or soldering skill for such modding. At least not yet. The nice thing about the mod is that it improves sound quality, but doesn't affect the headphone output of the iPod itself. So if you are satisfied with the sound quality from the iPod, you could walk around with 1TB of music in just the size of an iPod classic. It's really quite crazy to see how far the modding and how far music has come in the last 10 years or so.
Alas though, everything I learned about building a Terapod, came from cmarti, dr408517, and Dminor over at headfi, who were the real pioneers. Huge kudos to Tarken who designed an amazing msata adaptor as well.
Here is a link where we discussed it for anyone how wants to upgrade their iPod.
Link: Head-Fi SSD iPod thread.
I'm no audio person by any means, but reading headfi finally got me into buying a nice set of IEMs, OEMs and DAC/amp. Dude the sound is great. I'm hard hearing, so its great to finally be able to listen to music and enjoy it again.

No kidding. Its true what they say..."Welcome to Headfi, sorry about your wallet"
Since starting on headfi I've bought a nice set of headphones, a nice set of IEMs and sunk more money into my iPod setup than I care to admit. Heck I could have bought an Astell&Kern AK240. But then I wouldn't have 1TB of FLAC in my pocket

It actually does fit in my pocket. However I mostly use it at home when relaxing or when I'm working. However, you can go slim it down by removing the amp. That's just for volume control and some of my higher impedance headphones. If I wanted I could plug the IEMs directly into the iPod itself. So really the 1TB iPod is no bigger than any other iPod. In fact, you can upgrade a 7th Gen iPod with a slim back plate and have a normal thin 1TB iPod.
I only use the line out, and amp for better sound quality. :good:

Dope as fukc. How big is your library? lmao
Damn! This thing bounced back up lol. To be honest my library is only about 180GB- for now. But that's just music, no videos. But it's growing. I now import all music in Lossless formats.
I actually switched the 1TB msata drive to a 256GB SD card. This helps to conserve battery power. Plus the 1TB msata proved less reliable and susceptible to corruption, and other issues.
The gentleman that created the msata adapter subsequently came out with the iFlash Quad.
https://www.iflash.xyz/store/iflash-quad/
This adaptor allows you to switch out the iPod HDD for an adapter that can accommodate up to FOUR micro SD cards at once. The micro SD cards are run in a RAID format. The neat thing is the micro SD cards DO NOT have to be the same size. SO you can just grab what you have laying around.
He also had an adapter that can accommodate dual SD cards, which can be purchased in a 512GB capacity each for a full TB
So many options. Plus you throw in a big ass battery and your set.
If you have an iPod Classic laying around and want to make it one of a kind or breath new life into it, I highly recommend checking out the adapters on the page I linked. The prices are decent as well. So get rid of those ****ty mechanical HDDs. And go with flash media!
